Kymco like 150i 284lbs 13.7hp 12"wheels
pcx150 286-295(?)lbs 13.4hp 14"wheels
hd200 sym ~320?lbs 15.5hp 16"wheels
xc155 smax 328lbs 14.8hp 13"wheels
sh150i (Honda, 2010) 302lbs 15.5hp 16"wheels

Motorcycles..
sym wolf 150 266lbs 14.7hp
cbr250r 366lbs 22hp
tu250x 328lbs 16hp
Nighthawk 250 (~2008) 318lbs 20hp? (2cyl though..not as likely to be a fuel economy winner)

So going back to the 'commonly repeated adage' that '250cc is the minimum for freeways' ok --- 250cc scooters are not out of the question-- and often 250 can mean ~230cc or etc so not necessarily a big difference...

So what are the 'lightest' 250 scooters?
1985-88 Honda Elite CH250 293lb 18hp 10"wheels

...any other 250 scooters worth a significant second look?

I'm sure MP3 are great machines but in no way 'small' or 'lightweight'.., I've sat on one and- can't quite get into a 3-wheeler myself, (isn't that just extra rolling resistance?!)
